Welcome to Career Watch, a vocational checkup of top actors and directors, and those who hope to get there. In this edition we take on Nicholas Hoult, who’s doing what he’s always done: owning character roles in film, theater and television.

Nicholas Hoult will always be reminded of his Nosferatu costar Bill Skarsgård's faux phallus. In a new interview published ahead of the horror film's release on Wednesday, December 25, Hoult, 35, revealed the hilarious wrap gift director Robert Eggers,

“I have Count Orlok’s prosthetic penis framed at home,” Hoult told co-star Lily-Rose Depp. “There’s a scene where Bill Skarsgård is slurping my blood, and Robert Eggers asked afterwards, ‘How was that for you?’… And I said, ‘I could feel his prosthetic penis on my leg.’”

Nicholas Hoult has the 'Nosferatu' prosthetic penis from the set after writer/director Robert Eggers gave it to him.

Nicholas Hoult has revealed how he has a very unusual gift from his new movie 'Nosferatu' director Robert Eggers, which he has decided to have framed in his home

It wasn’t enough for Count Orlok’s prosthetic penis to be in its natural form. The special prop piece had an actual frame, which the actor says later broke. This meant he legitimately had to take the Nosferatu prop to again be framed in all of its glory and this is when the additional hilarity ensued:

Talking to Digital Spy, Hoult – who plays Thomas Hutter – recalled a terrifying experience filming a scene with Czech shepherd dogs who had the job of running after a scared Thomas in Count Orlok's castle.

After a strange experience on set, Hoult now has a bizarre gift from director Robert Eggers that he keeps on display.

In this scene from “Nosferatu,” a city man finds himself very out of place as he arrives in a Transylvanian village. Nicholas Hoult plays Thomas Hutter, a real estate agent on the way to meet with Count Orlok.
